Al-Gabal Al-Asfar Urgent Solution

Project Overview:

This National Sanitation Project within New Cairo City is a crucial initiative designed to improve essential services for residents. The project focuses on enhancing the road network and sewage drainage system by collecting wastewater and transporting it to treatment plants. The treated water will then be used for irrigating green spaces, beautifying the city. The project also aims to reduce malfunctions caused by continuous network operation and mitigate the impact of winter floods and heavy rainfall.

The project is divided into two phases: the first phase involves implementing slope lines at a depth of 16 meters, and the second phase connects these lines to the Al Gabal Al Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant, the second-largest sewage station in the world. These slope lines will serve the East Cairo cities of New Cairo, Shorouk, and Badr City, covering approximately 75% of New Cairo.

Key Components:

The project includes the following key components:

  • Expanding the Sewage Network: Construction of a 42 km main pipeline, using both Reinforced Concrete Pipes (RCP) and Reinforced Concrete Jacking Pipes (RCPJ), to connect key areas of New Cairo to the Al-Gabal Al-Asfar Wastewater Treatment Plant.
  • Implementing Innovative Solutions: Utilizing unconventional approaches, such as underground rainwater charging wells, to reduce pressure on sewage systems and mitigate the impact of heavy rainfall.
  • Enhancing Infrastructure: Building new sewage lines and networks to improve wastewater collection and transportation.

ECPC’s Scope of Work:

ECPC is a key partner responsible for installing 9,250 meters of RCPJ pipes. This involves:

  • Optimized Pipe Design: Utilizing 2.5-meter pipe lengths to streamline production, installation, and minimize joint connections.
  • Complex Installation: Implementing advanced jacking techniques to install pipes across diverse terrains and depths.
  • Strategic Infrastructure: Establishing 67 intermediate jacking stations to facilitate the efficient construction of the long pipeline.

ECPC has completed approximately 91% of its scope of work.
